Digitale Lehre an und rund um der Technischen Universität Graz
Lena hat im Rahmen ihrer Diplomarbeit die MakerDays in Bad Reichenhall nochmals analysiert und die Grundlage geschaffen für die ersten MakerDays an der TU Graz im August 2018. Hier kann man sich dafür noch gerne anmelden.
Die Zusammenfassung ihrer Arbeit hat sie mit diesem Foliensatz erfolgreich verteidigt:

One of my Phd-students developed a local LTI consumer, which is now available for free on github. So if you would like to do amazing external stuff and afterwards embed it into moodle, it might be helpful:
Typically you will develop your LTI provider locally and because of that you also want to test it locally. Unfortunately no simple LTI consumer for local usage existed. So I have written one based on python, django and the python LTI library.
For the first time in my life I was invited to contribute to an encyclopedia – „The SAGE Encyclopedia of the Internet“ about the topic microblogging.
Abstract:
Blogs and microblogs are used for communication, knowledge management, and publishing. Blog is simply a shortened version of weblog, a coinage of “web” and “log,” representing an information system that lists diary entries online. Microblogs can be seen as consisting of shorter blog entries. This entry further defines microblogs, then discusses the process of microblogging and how it functions as a means of mass communication.

Wir freuen uns, dass wir heuer auch bei den Open-Access-Tagen in Graz mit unserem Lieblingsthema (OER) vertreten sein werden. Es wurde heuer auch als Schwerpunkt aufgenommen und da haben wir natürlich die Chance genutzt. Sowohl die OER-Stratgie, iMooX oder auch das Open Education Austria Projekt – zu erzählen haben wir ja viel. Noch mehr freuen würde uns, wenn viele vorbei schauen und mitdiskutieren 🙂
Unserer Programmpunkte:

At this year Ed-Media conference in Amsterdam we published our research work about „Increasing Learning Efficiency and Quality of Students´ Homework by Attendance Monitoring and Polls at Interactive Learning Videosn“.
Abstract:
Due to the fact that students are confronted with a growing amount of texts, colours, figures and shapes and due to their ability to process only a limited number of such information simultaneously, it seems to be obvious that efforts should be made to increase the students‘ attention-levels. This is important because research results have indicated that selective attention is considered as the most valuable resource in the process of human learning. The application of interaction and communication to the process of learning is a useful strategy to direct the students‘ attention. It seems to be obvious that this is also true for learning videos. Therefore, this work contains a description of how a video platform with interactive components can be used to support the students and teacher. The video platform is explained and evaluated by analysing its usage in a large teaching course at an institution of higher education. The application of this strategy improved the students‘ performance and optimized the teacher’s workload.
